Being Real

I am of to a local college in a few hours to speak to their Christian group about being a Real Christian. I thought it was an interesting topic, firstly because since they asked me to speak on it then I assume that they may see me as a Real Christian, either that is a relief or i am better than i thought at faking it. But seriously it is an interesting topic, there are so many people around who call themsleves Christian - even in a post christendom world. And there are many others that theologicaly concern me, in their views on Christ. But to offer soemthing i want to say that being a real christian for me involves my actions reflecting what I believe. I guess the same could be said for any belief - if you really belief it then it should influence what you do. Over the past 12 years that i have been involved in ministry that has been my code, and I think works well. Hopefully as the Chrsitan group scratches belwo the surface they will see that while I may not be a perfect, my intentions is for my beliefs to be worked out in practice in how i live.

Hey Michael. Its been awhile. Great to read your thoughts couched in humor yet provoking. I value you as both a Real Christian, in trying make real your walk as well as a Reel Christian who loves to find God at the Movies. What have you found good at the Kiwi box office these days? I miss our cuppas in Nelson.
